    S3 has to go :( suggest me sub 1k cars please

    Sorry guys!! yeah I'm 21 so something that's a bit fun preferably.... I honestly don't care how many seats it has or how much gear you can get in it. as long as it costs around what my s3 cost with mods declared then that will be fine! Vague I know, thats why I need the help with it :)
